The House I Live in (a Parody)

Lewis Allan
Lingua: Inglese




What is America to me?
Viet Nam flim flam and Barry G.
A certain word, hypocrisy,
What is America to me?

The house we live in
On segregation street,
The racists and the bigots
And the jingoists we meet,
The generals and the statesmen
Who‘d drop the bomb with glee,
Who'd rather burn the house down
Than keep it safe and free.

The same old crackpots
From those MCCarthy Days
Who simply have adapted
And refined crude Nazi ways,
They want to turn the clock back,
Leave progress in the lurch,
Goldwater is their leader
And he's a son of a birch.

The things I see about me,
And we know whom to blame,
The cruelty and murder
That brings oura country shame,
The blood in Mississippi,
The tragedy and tears,
The freedom that's been shackled
For a hundred and eighty years.

The house we live in
It won't last long this way,
We‘ve got to meet the challenge
To survive from day to day,
a The roaches have come crawling,
Each rat and every louse,
The truth must reach the people,
‘It is time to clean the house.
